About This Event

Author and Storyteller Don Usner
Storytelling Through the Lens: Historic Preservation of Chimayó

The dynamic Don Usner presents a story still in the making: his search for answers about the purchase of the Santuario de Chimayó, its preservation history, and the community-led efforts to revitalize the historic Chimayó plaza, one adobe brick at a time. His research led him to answers tucked away in the SCAS | NMHA archive. Many answers lead to more questions, and round and round he goes. Strap in for a presentation full of wit, honesty, and joy as he unravels the mysteries of the past through words and images.

Thursday, March 19th 4:15 PM - 5:30 PM.
